FOR A SEPARATE DISTRICT.

A Resolution Passed by the West
Side Union Asking TO be Made a
Separate Senatorial District-.The
Broadway Bridge.
AT the meeting of the West Side union
last evening a resolution was adopted re-
questing the Ramsey county senators and
representatives to have West ST. Paul set
off as an independent senatorial district, in
case a new reappointment is made. The
project of having a suitable market house
erected in West st. Paul was discussed at
considerable length, but the matter was
finally postponed. A petition in favor of
bridge at the foot of Broadway was circu-
lated in the meeting, and large number OF
names were added to those already on it.
The project is to build low bridge. That
is to say, 1t will be about thirty feet above
the water level, which will bring it about
eighteen or twenty feet above the railroad
tracks, over which it will be carried on iron
posts This will give height sufficient to
allow locomotives to pass under. The peo-
pie of West ST. Paul are very enthusiastic
in favor of this bridge, and the names OF
several of the heaviest real estate owners
over there are on the petition.

A PlTEEUG TALE.
j Ofan Quincy. with EOth Legs G one.
Wants aid to Get to ChicasO--
Crushed by Freight Cars.

J DIAN quincy with Both Legs G one.
Wants sid to Get to ChicasO--
Crushed by Freight Cars.
A man on crutches, with both legs gone,
hobbled into the mayors Office yesterday
afternoon, and asked for aid to get trans
portation to Chicago. John Quincy, he
said his name was, and he told a pitiful
tale OF misfortune. On the 18th of August,
1885, he boarded a freight train OH the Mil
waukee road, bound for Hastings. where
ne had the promise of a job at threshing.
He had no money, and when the train was
about nine miles out of St. Paul, in full mo-
ton, the brakeman came along and ordered
him off. The train was running at
the rate of twenty-five miles an hour and
Quincy pleaded with the brakeman to wait
till the train slowed up. The brakeman
struck him, he said, with a coupling pin as
he stood on the ladder of a box car, and he
fell under the wheels, both legs being
crushed. The train did not stop to pick
him up, and after lying on the track for
two hours a farmer discovered him, and he
was taken care of and brought to ST.
.Joseph's hospital, where his limbs were
amputated and his life saved. Quincy
hired S. l.. Pierce. a lawyer, with the in
tention of bringing suit against the COM
pany, and the other day the suit was dis
missed for lack of evidence. Quincy has
tried, he said. repeatedly to get some as
sistance from the road. but has always
been refused, the officials denying him even
q pass TO Chicago, where his friends are.

Twenty thousand globes have been used
in arranging for the illumination of the
various streets, and nearly $4,000 have
been expended for this feature alone. A
rumor has been in circulation for a day or
two past that the management anticipated
trouble with the gas, but the gas company
and MeSsrS. Dwyer Bros, the contractors,
say that the rumor is groundleSS and are
certain that the gas will be all
right when the time comes for
the illumination on Monday night
1t will take forty men an hour to light all

HADLEY KNOCKED OUT.
BLACK Frank. in the Tenth Round.
With Gloves, Brought the Big Man
TO the Floor Five Times.

Black Frank knocked out Charles HadIey
last night at the Olympic theater in the
presence of a crowd that occupied the en-
tire seating and part of the standing room
of the house. 1t was ten-round set-to for
500, and While the fighting was
not as lively as was the match
a week ago between Frank and the
Black Pearl. it was pretty generally salts
factory to the spectators. The Pearl was
behind Hadley and Frank was taken care
of by Tom Manning. McHenry Johnson
was referee and Ed Hilton held the watch.
Hadley showed up in bad condition. He
appeared fat and heavy and altogether too
plump and smooth to go against Frank,
whose muscles stood ont prominently. and
who was apparently in good shape
For the first round or two it was
about an even thing. Both men
got some pretty hard blows. After the
third round Hadley was apparently winded
He had way of ducking his head when
Black Frank rushed at him. and on several
such occasions Frank gave him terrible
upper cuts, catching him square in the
mouth once and drawing blood freely. After
the fourth round Hadley made little show
at fighting, except, in the seventh

TWO or three rushes, with some

would not or could not, fight, and kept

and instead of standing up to the music
after Frank had given him several hard
blows, he allowed himself to fall to the

The Gallant Charge,

The feature in the grand new panorama
of the Battle of Gettysburg, corner of Sixth
and st. Peter streets, st. Paul, which seems
to appeal most strongly to the interest and
sympathy of local beholders is the vivid
portrayal of the grand, historic charge of
the gallant old First Minnesota regiment.
This regiment is truthfully and graphically
portrayed rushing heroically to the flaming
front, under the leadership of the brave
Col Colvil, who was desperately wounded
in this battle. and yet survives, manned and
disfgured. an honored citizen of Red Wing.
The colonel and large number of the men
of the old First" are painted from photo
graphs, and the likenesses are readily rec
ognized. The battle flag of the Twenty
eighth Virginia regiment, which led the
charge of Pickett's division, and is correctly
painted in its place in the picture lies in
the foreground. 1t was captured by Mar
shall Sherman, of st. Paul, member of
the First Minnesota. and by him loaned to
the panorama company.

Red River improvements.

Messrs. Valentine, of Breckenridge and
Campbell. of Ada, and Chase, of Crooks
ton, met in Secretary of State Mattson's
Office yesterday morning. the gentlemen
constituting committee to advise legis-
lation for the improvement of the Red
river valley. 1t was thought advisable to
ask for S25, 900 to be appropriated annually
for five years out of the internal improve
ment fund arising from the sale of swamp
lands and usually devoted to the construc-
ton of bridges, etc. Preliminary surveys
of desired improvements have been made
for which the cost is estimated at about
$4,000. The committee will meet again
on the 18th inst, when the desired legisla-
ton will be more fully discussed.
